[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 874724, member: 18708"] Speak facts, not agenda. Or is that a problem for you? If you read the article (which I'm [B]assuming[/B] you did for the sake of this post), good for you. If not, the articles premise is about Wal-Mart [I]\today[/I] and it's Good Will, Job Creation, Saving People money, helping small business, aiding in world economies thriving, feeding the poor, curing cancer, rescuing pets....etc. The problem is, Sam Walton has been dead for 20 years (24 years since he stepped down as CEO) and the company has taken a major turn in those 20 years since. Notice in '88 when he stepped down, the first SuperStore arrived. So therefore, given the current worldwide issues of worldwide cheap labor/slave camps/child labor, deterring and squashing small business, overproduction/excesses burden, pending/past lawsuits, right down the list...I do not personally think Sam Walton is at all relevant to todays Wal-Mart. Although Wal-Mart was a huge and thriving company in the late 80s early 90s, it was nowhere near, ideologically encompassing, the gutless, cheating, monopolizing bohemeth it came to be. [/QUOTE]
